HALF OF H IS RIGHT TO JAMES MCCOUBREY, OF SAME'PLAOE.

SOLDERlNG-IRON HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,655, dated August3, 1880.

' Application filed June 10, 1880. (Model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE QUINTON, of thecity of London, in the county of Middle sex and Province of Ontario,Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements onSoldering-Iron Heaters, of which the following' is a full, clear, andexact-description.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side View. Fig. 2 is avertical section. Fig. 3 is a View ofthe grate with shaker and damperattachment. l

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements insoldering-iron heaters; and the invention consists in the generalconstruction and arrangement of parts, all as will be hereinafter fullydescribed, and specifically' pointed out in the claim.

vA is the outer case, made preferably of sheetiron. All the other partswill usually be made of cast-iron.

B is the Well, made detachable and lifting out at top. Charcoal willgenerally be the fuel used, and this will fill up the well to the top.

U is an apron,the ends of which are attached to each side of opening D.E is a pipe communicating from case A into pipe F. This pipe may be.closed or regulated by the damper G. At the bottom of the case A isplaced a grate, H, constructed as shown at Fig. S-that is, with a shakerattachment, I J.

K is the ash-box or base, and L an ash-pan fitting in the same. Thebottom of ilue F opens into the base behind the grate, and when amoderate steady tire is required the damper G Will be closed, the grateH opened, and then the draft will be through D, down through grate H,and up the flue F, acting as a baseburner. When a hotter tire isrequired, the grate H will be closed, the damper G left open, 4o and adirect draft is then obtained from D to horizontal pipe E.

The result of this arrangement, in combination With a tire-pot, is thatathorough draft is obtained, all smoke and black coal are prevented fromcomingin contact with the irons, Ste., and the ash is easily removed. Agreat heat is obtained, and the quantity of fuel used is less than inordinary fire-pots.

M is an inner case' of cast-iron, to be placed 5o inside the outer case,A, and extending from the bottom to the lower edge of well B. This innercase, M, is removable, and can be replaced when burned out. It isintended to protect the thinner sides of the outer case, A, in the partmost exposed to the action of the nre.

Iam aware that a solderin giron heater having the combustion-fluecommunicating both with the ash-pit below the re and also through a pipeabove the re, is old; and such I do not 6o desire to be understood asclaiming, broadly, as of my invention but I claim-as my invention- Theherein-described soldering-iron heater consisting of the outer case, A,provided with the detachable Well B, opening D, and apron O, pipe E,provided with damper G, `flue or pipe F, base or ash-pit K, and grate H,provided with a shaker and damper attachment,

I J, the several parts constructed and rela- 7o tively arrangedsubstantially as and for the purpose specified.
